'fiether, washers 6 being "members 7 and the nuts on the other side? UNI ED s'rnn s has nrsr NEWELL SANDERS, or onn'rrnsooeii, risnnnssnn nierierow.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, NEWELL SANDERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chattanooga, Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Disk Plows, of which the following is a-specification.

.M y present invention relates to disk plows and the objects of the invention are to roduce a plowin which 'a lar e number'of isks may be used where the p ow is drawn by a traction-engine, while at the same time it will be erfectly rigid and free from all liability 0 bending and twisting causing the disks to have diilerent inclinations.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a plan view; Fig. 2, a section on line 2 20f Fig. 1.

In the drawings the numeral 3' desi ates a bar or main frame member, refers 1y of the she e shown, which exten s diagonally the full ength of the low. This main frame member is referab y of the shape shown, having; over anging rounded edges or flanges 3 andshoulders 3*. On the front side of the main frame member 3 and preferably coextensive therewith as to length is located a reinforcing frame member 4, preferably of similar shape in cross-section and havin its flanges 4* adapted to rest against the, -0111.

The furrow-opener-supporting devices are of course adjustable along the diagonal beam,

as also is the draft device or devices. liurrow and land Wheels and a trailer-Wheel are provided; but as these form no partof the present invention further description thereof is deemed unnecessary.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I provide a frame which is exoeedingly strong and rigid and is not liable to be bent or twisted. The result-is that I can provide a plow having as high as twelve disks or more and designed to be drawn b n traction-engine -of as much as twenty-' 1V8 horsepower-or more Without any danger of the parts being bent or twisted, thereby imparting diflerent inclinations to the disks,.

causing them to run hard, and resulting in defective work and frequent breakage, as is the casewith all previous built-up frames of which I am aware.

Having thus described my invention, whet v I claim is- 1. Ina d sk plow a frame comprising a sinis diagonal bar or main frame member and eving overhanging fiangesand shoulders, and a reinforcing bar or member located at one side thereof and having flanges bearing against the shoulders of the main bar, and meansfor securing such. bars together, substantially as described. 7

In a-diek plow, a frame comprising a single diagonal bar or main frame member .extendingthe entire length of the p'loW and having overhanging flanges and shoulders, a

reinforcing bar or member on the front side thereof, having flanges hearing against said shoulders, furrow-opener cari' ingbeains having flanges bearing against t e shoulders on the rear side and bolts passing through said parts to" hold them together, substantially as-de'scribed.

I testimon whereof I afiix my signature inpresence '0 Y two witnesses.
